I have put no conditions on you, no provisos, nothing, if you cannot or will not answer the question then its nothing to me if you fail to heed Christs words and carry out the commission, i just wondered that seeing that you are so critical of others, you might have a more successful way.

i have not asked you about your private affairs nor a private ministry, i have asked you about a public ministry and how it is conducted, of course it came as no surprise that you proffered nothing but excuses so far as to how it is carried out. Is it a secret? are you in a secret cult that will not tell us? Perhaps you use telepathy, messages in bo ...[text shortened]... d prove so troublesome for you, after all, one does not light a lamp and hide it under a basket.

It seems to me that your Watchtower Society is the secret cult. Have you actually visited them to see what goes on in their meetings? You have no idea what sinister plans they have for you in the future becasue they keep it a secret.

seeing that you are so critical of others, i simply thought that you must have a more productive method. What other teachings of Christ are you reluctant to tell us about?

sorry how is it you carry out your commission to baptize in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit like the apostles did? You have not said.

but if you are not gathering and seeing that you cannot provide a single reference to any of your public ministry we must assume that you are not actively engaged in one but somehow deem yourself to be qualified to be highly critical of those who are, and are therefore not gathering but scattering, Jesus said as much. Why would you want to scatter the disciples of Christ?

Jesus also said, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

(Mathew 7:1-5 NKJV)

I am interested in how you accomplish Christs command to teach and to preach, that's why I have asked you three times to tell us, all to no avail. Oh well.

ahh the none of your business excuse, how banal, sorry, how can you conduct a public ministry, that is going to the public with the good news of Gods Kingdom, as commanded by Christ and its none of anyone's business. what are you teaching these prospective disciples that its such a secret? do tell, you must after all be a great moralist and expert to point out the faults of others. So what are you teaching them? that its none of our business?
